Why have the heavy investments in

(a) research to prove benefits of screening and early detection
(b) imaging (Mammography and MRI) and
(b) chemotherapy regimes to treat breast cancer

NOT changed the above statistics? 

Are you aware that these statistics you read are from trials and those which are funded?

So if you are on the trial you get access to free screening and sometimes treatment for the trial period or else you pay for it and incur the cost. Research for sure has proven that the only way to improve survival and cure breast cancer is to detect when it is small (tumor size <1cm ) and confined to the breasts. If this is achievable then,

1. Stage I cancers will be detected i.e the tumor size is less than 2 cms and there is no spread to the axillary nodes or distant organs

2. For small sized cancers , it is possible to offer a wide array of oncoplastic surgeries which help you to preserve your beauty, sometimes even enhance the existing breast ( in oncoplastic breast surgeries we use plastic surgery techniques of breast reduction or augmentation without compromising on the cancer treatment and symmetrize the opposite breast)

3. Morbidity associated with chemotherapy can be avoided if you detect less than 1 cm tumors ( Chemotherapy is recommended for tumors greater than 1 cm)

One would wonder why, when such a lot is known, do we not know how to ACHIEVE CURE?

train your fingers today - detect breast disease now

this may be the best gift you can give yourself
